That's not going to happen to me...

[Boot71]

Lots of good YouTube videos on eating keto, reduced carbs. Sugar is the enemy of good health and long life.

Reading through a book called "Sugar Busters" now. I'm amazed at how many things are just slap full of added sugars and carbs. Most of my life has been supported by processed foods and waffle house, til now. I can sure tell a difference in how I feel when my sugar is up or down. Trying to get it smoothed out with a better diet.
My wonderful wife is super supportive and has been looking at our dinners based on carbs/sugars lately, instead of making me all my favorite foods that make me feel bad.

I feel ya bud. I've tried more than once. I'm at the point now where I just want to drink until things don't hurt anymore.

Some days be like that for sure. 3 finger days.

Every day is a three finger day. I need to slow way down.

Been there and done that. Was a functioning drunk for several years in the late 90's... Slowed way down and now because of diabetes; haven't had a drink in 5 years or so.

I've lived in a whisky bottle for 3 years in the 90's. Still paying for it healthwise.

You can "get even." Quitting tobacco in 2005 was the big boost in health for me.

 

[Asbestos]

Quit tobacco in 2010 and alcohol in 2004. I haven’t had a court date or a mattress fire since. It was fun while it lasted though.

I reckon most of us in the 50-70 year old range are paying the price for hard living. Can’t say they didn’t warn me
